Newer installs of Drupal by default block access to the CHANGELOG.txt and README.txt files, so we may need to do further enumeration. Although the target is running an older version of Drupal (7), these two files are not present or accessible at the moment.

Now that we’ve confirmed that we are facing Drupal and fingerprinted the version let’s look and see what misconfigurations and vulnerabilities we can uncover to attempt to gain internal network access.
Unlike some CMS’, obtaining a shell on a Drupal host via the admin console is not as easy as just editing a PHP file found within a theme or uploading a malicious PHP script.
Search for vulnerabilities
Searchsploit listed several vulnerabilities found with various versions of Drupal.

And then, quick google search with version as 7.26 revealed the exploits available for this version of Drupal.
Leveraging Known Vulnerabilities
Over the years, Drupal core has suffered from a few serious remote code execution vulnerabilities, each dubbed Drupalgeddon. At the time of writing, there are 3 Drupalgeddon vulnerabilities in existence.
- CVE-2014-3704, known as Drupalgeddon, affects versions 7.0 up to 7.31 and was fixed in version 7.32. This was a pre-authenticated SQL injection flaw that could be used to upload a malicious form or create a new admin user.
- CVE-2018-7600, also known as Drupalgeddon2, is a remote code execution vulnerability, which affects versions of Drupal prior to 7.58 and 8.5.1. The vulnerability occurs due to insufficient input sanitization during user registration, allowing system-level commands to be maliciously injected.
- CVE-2018-7602, also known as Drupalgeddon3, is a remote code execution vulnerability that affects multiple versions of Drupal 7.x and 8.x. This flaw exploits improper validation in the Form API.
We will attempt to exploit CVE-2018-7600 to gain initial access to the target.

As “find” command has SUID bit set, we can execute the command as “root” user.
Abusing SUID binaries
As “find” command has SUID bit set, we can execute the command as “root” user.
We create a file called “zyber” and use “find” command to check if is executing the commands as root user, the reason for creating a file is so that we can use with “find” command. As running it with a single file will run the command only once.
